Actually, SW is very Apple like on windows. Much easier to use, powerful, and intuitive to use. Apple would only make it better from what it is. Do something like the FileMaker division, except instead of for business/reporting, it would be for engineering.
I wonder if they'll bring the tab reloading from iOS 7 to OSX?
Disclaimer: This is intended as a humorous post. But I do wish they would get rid of the tab reloading in iOS.
Hasn't tab reloading always been an issue though? Not just iOS 7?
If Apple want to bring out a decent Apple TV that would blow away the competition then it needs to make it able to play any type of file that you throw at it. Otherwise no matter how pretty they make it it wont apeal to me at all and I would stick with the WDTV.

iOS 7 is making me think about switching to Windows Phone or even... Android.
I've used Mac computers strictly since 2003. With all these bugs with OS X and the horribly blinding and more "kid-ish" design and look of iOS 7, I'm thinking about jumping ship.
Not entirely. I love Apple hardware. It's their software that I'm losin trust in. Which I thought would never happen. Hey, I could always put Windows 8 on my Mac and get that sexy Nokia Lumia Icon. It would be more sexy if it didn't say Verizon or Nokia on the actual shell though.
William Gates, I will take that as humor, as per your name.
In case it was not...
iOS and OSX must not become separate silos. The more they share R&D the more in sync they will be with each other. If a programmer finished a new feature on iOS, why not let him/her help implement a similar feature in OSX?
Somewhere, Steve is
This.
And let me say, I don't feel neglected as an OS X user. Mavericks was a tremendous update, considering it came only one year after Mountain Lion. No need to pull developers from iOS to OS X. Of course there is always room for improvement, but one thing OS X doesn't need is a new user interface design. Don't change it, if you can't improve it. If they are doing it right, 10.10 will look very similar to 10.9.
^ Thats what imagine you look like while reading the article/writing this post.
Why are you thinking about what I look like? Do you want to video chat later big boy?!
I can't FaceTime because Apple broke that.

No need to. If the huge screen iPhone 6 rumors come true, you will feel as if you've switched to Android without doing it.+1

The software was only the easiest thing to ruin after Steve Jobs supervision was gone. I fear hardware will be next. Wait till they introduce the golden MacBook Pro.
1.) Apple has never been driven by their bottom line and anyone even vaguely familiar with the company's history would know this.
2.) iOS portables continue to drive Mac growth vs. PC, even if the overall sales of desktops are decreasing. The desktop, as Jobs predicted, may become the pickup truck of the computing world, but Ford still sells a helluva lot of F-150's. There is, and will continue to be, a increasingly large professional user base dependent on the evolution of OSX. After all, they didn't spend millions of dollars reengineering the Mac Pro just to ignore the operating system.
apple doesn't have windows software except maybe iTunes/safari.
so the suggestion is -- buy solidworks, rewrite it from scratch basically so it will run natively on OSX, quit offering a windows version.
sounds like a nightmare.
The beauty of OS X is that it's always been fairly customizable (although less so, of late.) I doubt that'll change much as that's just how PC's work. Apple has a much less vested marketing interested in controlling the look of OS X; where as the visual appearance of iOS has become an integral part of its brand.
Then why did they make iOS 7 look like cotton candy crap for 12 year olds? My Nintendo 3DS's OS looks more sophisticated.
Why would Apple take away resource from their cash cow?
Gah
for the first time your profile pic got me! I've seen it plenty of times too!
I'm glad of the new efforts on the desktop too.
I'm just nervous about the "more whitespace" part. I already have trouble trying to put multiple windows on one screen. I don't need the interface to become even more bloated just for whitespace.

The beauty of OS X is that it is beautiful out of the box without the need for changing anything. Take that away and we will have to mourn a great loss. Also improved security by code signing and app sandboxing often results in reduced customizability. If in doubt, Apple will prioritize security over customizability. The ways PC's work are changing and letting everyone change everything doesn't lie in its future.
I guess you scare easily?

The page turning effect wasn't removed from iBooks on iOS. Maybe there's hope for the stars too!
